Blackberry and huckleberry jam recipe

Jams are made from crushed or ground whole fruit and usually have a thick consistency due to the high pectin content. Fruit gives the product its special flavor and often provides pectin for thickening. Pectin is needed to provide thickening or gel formation.

Ingredients

6 cups wild blackberries

1/4 cup water

1 cup huckleberries (half under-ripe)

7 cups sugar

1 liquid pectin pouch (3 ounces)

Procedure

Wash blackberries, crush, and combine with water in saucepan.

Bring to a boil and simmer, covered for 5 minutes.

Force mixture through coarse sieve or food mill to remove most of the seeds.
